Product Overview
One of the biggest challenges for gardeners isn’t composting itself—it’s consistently collecting kitchen scraps in a clean, convenient way. When that step gets messy or inconvenient, people stop separating scraps, limiting how much organic material actually makes it into compost systems. The Compost Collector® was designed to solve that.
This toss-able, 100% pre-consumer, PFAS-free molded fiber paper pulp container comes with a lid and is specifically designed for quick and easy curbside composting. For gardeners, it creates a steady, cleaner flow of material from kitchen to compost without extra handling, liners, or cleanup.
Founder’s Story
The idea for the Compost Collector® came during a simple kitchen cleanup moment. After years in residential property management, founder Michelle Horneff-Cohen noticed that composting programs often break down inside the home. This product was created to make that step easier, ensuring more food scraps actually make it from kitchen to compost.
Editor’s Take
The Collector sits neatly on the counter, ready for everyday cooking scraps. I love that it’s disposable yet sustainable—no liners or extra bins, and it’s PFAS-free. For gardeners who want to make composting part of their routine without fuss, this is a thoughtful, practical solution.
I can also see another use for this: bury it directly in your garden, where it will naturally break down and compost into the soil, giving your plants a gentle nutritional boost over time.
